Ratings rewind from the CandH expert
By Niall McDonald
Fabianski: 2 brilliant saves near the end of the first half; a very quiet second half 7
Fredericks: Solid again, looking like the first choice right-back. Great athlete 7
Diop: Managed well against what little threat Villa posed down the middle 6
Ogbonna: Had one of his games where he looks a bit dodgy but gets away with everything 6
Masuaku: Now I thought he defended pretty well tonight before a 2nd yellow for an extremely innocuous challenge 7
Rice: As the game opened up Rice was able to show more of his passing and running with the ball 6
Noble: The sort of hectic midfield battle that suits the skipper 6
Lanzini: Found more space after the sending off and substitutions; always trying to create 6
Yarmolenko: Covered a lot of ground, if not posing a real attacking threat 6
Anderson: Unfortunate to be subbed as Pellegrinni re-balanced following the red card. Before then had been very sharp down the left 7
Haller: His first bad touch in a Hammers shirt in the 89th minute? Not bad going! Chances at a premium tonight 6

Subs
Fornals: This last half hour in the ten-man effort will have been great experience for the youngster; really got stuck in 6
Zabaleta: Couldn’t ask for more experience off the bench 6
Balbuena: Arrived to bolster the defence for the last couple of mins
